Cocktail Recipe: how to make one big batch of negroni cocktails

Why make one negroni when you can make a whole batch of them? Big batch cocktails are becoming a huge trend for the amateur mixologist, and there’s little surprise as to why. Not only does this technique allow for high volumes of cocktail ingredients to be pre-prepared, allowing time for botanicals to infused and richer, bolder flavours to come out, but “batching” also enables the host to serve different cocktails throughout the night, in a shorter time.

It makes a hell of a lot of difference when you let those botanicals really infused in the liquid, as evidenced with the strong flavour profile of Star of Bombay, which was this year named “Best London Dry Gin”. The team behind it have been spreading the good word about batch cocktails through their Star Soiree series, so we’ve sourced up a recipe from them for a good old big-batch of negroni.
